By choice, I don't have wi-fi, so keep my reader permanently in aeroplane mode, which means I can't create collections as these are 'stored' in the cloud. My old Sony 505 doesn't have the capacity to connect to the internet, so Sony built-in the ability to create collections using the computer and reader.
If the PW3 can do this, it looks like a promising option.
Oh, I download all the books onto the computer by choosing the 'transfer via usb' option on Amazon, then side-load them.

Thanks.
You have not been provided with the correct answer yet. The answer is YES. Collections are not cloud only, that is categorically false. You can create and maintain collections without ever syncing to the cloud. And online or offline you can add books to your collections without any petulant warnings about being offline. I tried this myself with the PW 3 and I'm reporting on what I've observed.

For the other posters, please don't answer questions about kindles that you don't know the answer to. It's not helpful.
